who would be left
You picked on a few US IT companies. If they are "boycotted until they go out of business" who is helped? Then non-US companies will take their markets. Though if they are globally competetive they will survive on the business of the rest of the human race who live outside the US' borders. Then again what about the thousands of US citizens who actually work for these companies? I thought you were concerned with US unemployment:

"So unemployment & low paying jobs are good for America as long as a few cronies are lining up their pockets."

As to low paying, why do you assume that all that will be left is low paying jobs? Certainly the whole point of the study was to actually indicated that unemployment actually wasn't the result of the off-shoring.

On your point of the "few cronies" you can always buy some shares and turn up at a shareholders meeting and contest their options payments and bonuses as a shareholder.
